every moment that passes has a message but we tend to distort the guide of the moment to the tune of our thinking that it becomes irrelevant..we misinterpret individuality then but we seldom realize..but the message remains the same..we need to go beyond..alas! we seldom go..

The best way to know the self is feeling oneself at the moments of reckoning. The feeling of being alone, just with your senses, may lead you to think more consciously. More and more of such moments may sensitize ‘you towards you’, towards others. We become regular with introspection and retrospection. We get ‘the’ gradual connect to the higher self we may name Spirituality or God or just a Humane Conscious. We tend to get a rhythm again in life. We need to learn the art of being lonely in crowd while being part of the crowd. A multitude of loneliness in mosaic of relations! One needs to feel it severally, with conscience, before making it a way of life. One needs to live several such lonely moments. One needs to live severallyalone.

SO, RAHUL GANDHI BEGINS WITH HIS ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEWS

So, it was a highly publicized,
first television appearance of Rahul Gandhi for a personal interview. Let me be
honest, I didn’t catch the initial part of it but what I could go through was
more than enough.

It was like a Rahul Gandhi speech
in terms of where Rahul Gandhi sounded confident, the grand vision that he and
his party have for India, and the grand achievements, he and his grand old
party have stacked over the years while pushing the India story on an upward
growth curve (obviously, as claimed, the verity, the substance of which is
validly questioned, time and again).

But he faltered, he floundered
and he floundered badly where he faced tough questions on controversial issues
like the 1984 anti-Sikh riots or corruption or price rise. He did not have
answers or he did not know what to say. He simply did not know how to defend
something that could never be defended logically.

Like always, there was nothing
new in what Rahul Gandhi said or argued about, but whatever he says has to be
taken into the larger picture of India, its sociopolitical and economy parameters,
because he is the prime-ministerial choice of the main party of the ruling
coalition of the country.

Arnab's Rahul Gandhi interview:
Unacceptable answer of Rahul on RTI. He falters again. Political parties under
RTI - why can't the 'politician with a difference' in him say yes, the
political parties should come under RTI? But he tries to shift the locus by
giving irrelevant examples like the Judiciary not being under RTI.

Ashok Chavan Vs Ashok Kumar:
Rahul Gandhi mixes up though his party is defending the tainted former Maharashtra CM. He just not names him wrongly; he also,
miserably, falls short on defending his and his party's stand on corruption.

Rahul Gandhi: no tolerance for
corruption yet shields behind the flaws of the legal system - defends his party’s
‘unacceptable corruption’ by shifting the poles - claims the tall claims in his
way of rhetoric.

Rahul evades answers on corruption
allegations on Ashok Chavan, Virbhadra Singh. Talks of making politics
participative - yet, he doesn't participate in the most fundamental of the
discussions - shields behind talking on long-term goals when he fails to defend
the present set-up, run by his party and other political parties like his grand
old party.

Defends alliance with RJD: Folks,
did you know Lalu Yadav's RJD was an idea or to say alternatively, could it
remain an idea any longer, as soon as Lalu assumed the office in Bihar?

Issues and issues - Rahul not
coming with answers - clearly not able to defend his stand - clearly not able
to defend his political persona - clearly not able to defend his so famous
silence when he was so needed to speak on - clearly not able to take the
questions head on. Who suggested for an interview after all. And, the next one
is coming soon.

Change at the bottom Vs change
at the top: Rahul is going to open the system - with him and his party
politicians coming from political dynasties working to check the 'proliferation
of dynasties'. Who is going to take it?

Rahul Gandhi is not a
superficial chap (as he tells the interviewer). People think Rahul is thinking
deeply and thinking long-term (as he tells the interviewer). Rahul talks
anti-System of a System his party and his family has been the major contributors
of.

Not born a Gandhi, would you
have been in politics still? No answer, but it is natural. He just talked.
Hope, some day, he would walk the talk.

Some other elements from his
interview: Deeper questions - why power so concentrated - policy made in closed doors - open up the
system - role of women - jobs for youngsters - if he would have spoken out
earlier - opening up the structure - that’s the bottom line, changing paradigms
– and so on

Rahul sounded more like desirous
of answering what he wanted to do (deeper thinking issues as per him). He felt
uncomfortable whenever he faced controversial issues (he tried to label as
superficial issues).

Like on asking (more than once)
if he was open for a debate between the key candidates on key issues, he said a
national debate was already happening – by comparing works of his party to that
of the opponents.

Let’s see how goes the next leg
of this exercise of political branding of the brand Rahul Gandhi.
